Captain

Chill Regular-ass Post

FCC chair to investigate exactly how much everyone hates data caps. ISPs clearly have technical ability to offer unlimited data, chair’s office says.

Note that I am an expert in this field, probably one of the top few thousand people in the world in networking: There is no technical reason at all to have data caps, only financial ones.

I know expertise doesn’t matter anymore, but there you go.

As a sort-of aside, data caps tend to actually increase network usage. Why? People who have a cap often feel they “have to get their money’s worth” and use the service right up to its limits. Just a human behavior thing. So that’s why most often data caps lead to more network usage, not less….

Not Hate

This is true. I criticize women’s behavior sometimes on here but the reality is that I love women. Love being around them (even platonically) and hanging out with them. Most of my friends are women and that’s only gotten to be more the case as I’ve gotten older.

Musically, I listen to nearly all women artists and these days I read mostly women writers. And no, I do not do this as some suppose to get into women’s pants or whatever. I’d do this even if there was 100% no chance of that ever. (Meanwhile, others assume I do this because I’m secretly gay. The contrast is funny.) And no, I am not a “nice guy” in any sense. I am kind of a grumpy curmudgeon.

I just have more in common with women and am not good at and really fucking hate masculine posturing. Thus, most male spaces feel foreign and unwelcome to me. So my preference just makes sense.
